Christmas Love

I have a new update on the girls in India and their new ayah (click HERE to read the history behind this project):

"She's doing such a great job. April looked beautiful today (didn't notice Molly from close by). Whenever I see Nagendram she has one of those two in her arms, combing their hair, carrying them... As we work with her she will do even more, but for now this is major--they are not spending hours alone lying on beds; they are being really cared for. Hope this model will eventually inspire lots of support so we can adopt it throughout the place. I also noticed that both of their hemoglobin reports for this month are EXCELLENT. they're getting enough to eat and showing it."

Having their own ayah is really changing their quality of life. Sarah is hoping to duplicate this with other kids because it has been so successful, but first, we need to hit 100% so we can fundraise enough for the girls' ayah for a full year.

We have been stuck at 52% for a while. In order to get it back going again, I have made these certificates that you can give to friends/family this Christmas, when you make a donation for the girls' ayah in their name. Simply make the donation at the Chip In below, and then send me an email at ncochrane3@hotmail.com letting me know your name and the name of the person the gift is for. If you would like any special text, I can include that. I will then email you a copy of the certificate, which you can give electronically or print off.

For one week of ayah costs per girl, it is $22.50 a week, so consider this as a possible amount.

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas :)
